BRANDS FROM THE BURNING.

The Mortimer block fire opened some
bOdy's eyes. The building inspector
says the structure complied with the
law. Then the law is an abOminable
farce. The council should distinguish
itself by thrOttling the ordinance that
will sanction the building of such hOr-
rible death trap.
1t seems that when two buildings are
to be the same height, that to be used
for business purposes must be stronger
than that to be used for dwellings. This
is a proposition of law that should I'M
dergO argument. The city should change
its law OF abolish the building depart
ment it now maintains at considerable
expense.
"The walls ratified down like dust"
was the remark of a fireman. Have we
a Buddensick III Minneapolis? Builders
and architects agree this great structure
was poorly, cheaply and inc0mpetently
put together. and one carpenter says he
believes it would not have carried two
feet of snow Oh the roof.
We have no room for such buildings
in Minneapolis. 1t looks as though the
early removal of this one were merci-
full dispensation o. Providence. Had it
been completed and occupied, the hor-
rors of the Newhall house fire would
have faded into insignifcance. Before
half the occupants could have escaped,
even with unlimited appliances, the en-
tire building would have been roaring
sea of flame.
But Providence did not interpOse in
this case. Human hands, it is thought,
applied the torch There is no proof of
this, but there is no possible accounting
for the fire. as an accident. Because
other buildings belonging to Mr.. Morti-
mer have burned, or because it is said
liens were TO be filed on this building, is
no reason to believe the proprietor had
hand in the burning. He is absent.
The insurance companies are a little
interested. They will take risks on any
thing, if the rate is high enough, and
this building was insured without ques-
ton or bubble. Specimens of brick and
mortar have been preserved, and there
may be a hereafter. Fortunately no
lives were lost, or the coroner might
have off cially determined some facts in
which the public is interested.

AT THE GRAND.
Emma Abbott in "Ruy Bias
Scores a Great Hit.

Every seat in the Grand opera was
filled by large audience last night to
hear the new opera, "Ruy Bias" pro-
duced for the first time here by that
favOrite prima donna, Emma Abbott.
''Ruy Bias" is charming opera. The
character of the music is highly dra-
matte, yet, at the same time, is full of
melody and tenderness, and 1t shows
the composer to be musician of great
merit. Many passages call to
mind Meyerbeer's "Hugenots." >
The choral effects are eSpe-
cially brilliant, and the solo numbers
are skillfully interviewer. and each
artist has good opportunities. In the
role Marie Therese, Queen of Spain,
Emma Abbott has added another to her
list of many successes, as the music is
adapted to her voice, and in the arlaS
and love duet she appeared to greater
advantage than in other parts in which
she has recently sung.
Throughout the entire opera she sang
with great spirit and won repeated en-
cores. 1t is at the close of the opera in
the death scene that Abbott surprised
the audience as an emotional actress, and
the evidence of her hiStriOnic ability was
powerfully shown. Her action was
worthy of Bernhard or Morris. One of
the most charming features of the per-
Torrance, however, was the sensuOuS
and thrilling love duo, Ills Bliss for
Thee to Die" between the prima donna
and Michelena, which was, musically
and dramatically, rare picture of
sweet and thrilling lOve-making.
Pruette as Don Sallust was artistic and
effective, and made a decided hit.
Signor Michelena, the handsome Span
ish tenor, as Ruy Bias, was excellent,
and his singing was highly enjoyed.
The Characterization was also well suS-
tanned. One of the gems of the even
ing was the aria of CaSSilda, Miss Anan-
dale, and this won hearty encOres
The role of Don GuintanO was excel
lently sung by Mr.. Broderick. The rest
of the support was satisfactory and
TomaSi handled the chorus and OrcheS-
ira to perfection. Of the costumes
enough cannot be said, as they are ele-
CANT and full of color, and Miss Alb
bolts are superb, being perfect dreams
of lOvelinesS, causing OutSpen eXclama-
tons of delight from the ladies. "Ruy
Bias was handsomely staged, and the
tableauX revealed some cunning stage
management. In fact AbbOtt'S COM
| pany is stronger and better than ever
before Tonight that favOrite and me
lOdious opera, IL TrovatOre" will be
| presented with Abbott as LeOnora, the
cast including every member Of the
company.
Owing to the success of "Ruy Bias
last night by Abbott, the management
have decided to put on ''Ruy Bias" for
Saturday night.

that they have spent considerable time
in investigating. both with the directors
and the agent of the Telephone COM
pany, who seemed to be anxious to con-
vince your committee that the rates
were very cheap and reasonable, and
manifested disposition to afford your
committee all the facilities whereby
they might learn that the service was
first class and charges reasonable. Your
committee, while acknowledging all
cOurteSieS shown them, cannot say that
they are satisfied that some reduction
in prices for telephone services could
not reasonably be made, which would
not only be of service to the people of
this city, but would be pecuniary ben
eft to the telephone company.
But from several interviews with
the said company's agent, your
committee are satisfied that no vol
untary reduction will be made in their
prices and the only hope of relief is
either by the expiration OF their patent,
which occurs in 1892. or in some leglSla-
ton by the state fixing a limit TO the
prices which the said company may be
allowed to charge. 1t is understood by
the committee that at our last legisla-
ture there was an attempt to present a

rates would be controlled by the state
but by the strenuous efforts of the Tele-
phone company, the bill was not
allowed to be brought up and was sue
cessfully killed. Therefore your COM
mittee would recommend to the board,
that special committee be appointed
after the next election, to confer with
our delegation and urge them to pre-
sent proper bill that will accomplish
the establishing of rates, such as will
be just and right to the people, and
that this committee work in unison with
our delegation and do all in their power
to place the matter before the legisla-
ture in the proper shape, and spare no
time in bringing about just settlement
of telephone rates that will satisfy the
public at laege.
The board appointed committee to
urge the incorporation of Minneapolis
in the new name of the Minnesota Il
Northwestern railroad. A resolution
instructing our representatives in con-
greSS to urge the government either to
assume control of the Western Union
Telegraph company, or build line of
equal extent, was referred to the COM
mittee on legislation.

DULL IN DIRT
As Usual Monday-Discussin the
Fire-Yesterday's Transfer.

The real estate market yesterday was
barren of news so far as large deals are
concerned. Prices were stiff and the
offices seemed to have plenty of bust
ness on hand, but Monday, as general
rule, is quiet day.
The one topic of conversation seemed
to be the burning of the Mortimer Apart
ment house, and very decided opinion
was expressed everywhere, and by ev-
eryOne, that it must have been done by
an incendiary. The inspector of build
ingS is loudly condemned for the state
of the structure, many people demand
ing a StIict inquiry into the whole mat
ter, and when it is considered that two
months FROM now fifty families, or say
$50 people, would have been living in
that terrible fire trap, from which the
majority of them could never have eS-
capped in case of a calamity like this, it
is high time that the building inspector
be held responsible for such dereliction
of his duty. There is a strong belief
apparently among architects and real
estate men, there will be some pretty
interesting developments in the next
few days in regard to this matter. 1t
was rumOred on the street that Mr..
Mortimer was trying to raise loan to
rebuild at once, but neither his security
nor himself were looked upon in IA
vOrable light and he did not get any en-
couragement.

The board of trade has at last dropped
the rustling dead leaves and tackled a

There was small fire yesterday IN
the vault under the pavement of the

would result if the flames should once
get at those tons of unsOld TribuneS

Time was when this would never be.
Gen. w. d. Washburn has returned
from New York and reports the money
market as improving. After the bets

will be no shortage of funds in certain
quarters.
A well known business man was dis
cussing the question of hanging the an
archists yesterday when the question
whether it would be better not to send
them to prison for life came up. This
idea he favored. and thought that if the
authorities wanted to add torture to the
punishment they should make the priS-
Oners read the Minneapolis Tribune edi-

now to be discharged from the police

A RESTAURANT SCRAP.
One of the Participants May Go
Over the Road.

A young man giving his name as
John Rieden appeared at police head
quarters last evening, his face all cut
up and bleeding, and made complaint
that Richard Fales, the proprietor of a
restaurant on the corner of First street
and Hennepin avenue had assaulted
him and robbed him of $40.
Fales was sent for and came over. His
story was that Rieden had come into his
place badly intoxicated, eaten supper
and then refused to pay for it. Fales
then held him and took enough money
from his pocket to pay for the supper.
A row followed, in which Rieden was
struck in the face. He was picked up
and put out doors, where the rest of his
money fell from his pocket. This Fales
said he replaced. After he had told his
story the assistant superintendent Or
dered FaleS locked up. Fales, on hear
ing the order, rushed out and flew down
Hennepin avenue toward First street,
where he was stopped by Patrolman
Fay and conveyed to the First precinct
station,
